The ring R in the arrangement shown can slide along a smooth, fixed, horizontal rod XY. It is attached to the block B by a light string. The block is released from rest, with the string horizontal.(a) One point in the string will have only vertical motion. (b) R and B will always have momenta of the same magnitude. (c) When the string becomes vertical, the speeds of R and B will be inversely proportional to their masses. (d) R will lose contact with the rod at some point. |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (a, c) There are no horizontal forces acting on the ‘R plus B’ system. Hence, its centre of mass will move down vertically, and horizontal momentum will be conserved. |
